Why Settling Your Truck Accident Claim Matters

If you and your family’s world were recently turned upside down after being affected by an accident with an 18 wheeler, you likely know the answer to that question. Truck accidents are often devastating for all parties involved. Truck accidents often lead to severe injuries and fatalities.

The Average Time to Reach a Settlement

What is the average amount of time for Sentry Insurance to settle a truck accident lawsuit? How much time does Sentry Insurance take to make payment on a truck accident case? If you were rear ended by a truck, learning about how long a truck accident lawsuit takes to reach a settlement is probably a priority. How long an 18 wheeler lawsuit takes to finalize and reach a settlement can vary depending on many details of your claim. On average, the duration of truck accidents to settle is approximately 2 years. Frequently, truck accidents could reach settlements between 12 to 18 months. This timeframe includes claims that have little to no complications. If your claim encounters some minor to moderate obstacles, your case will take longer to settle (closer to the 2-year mark). Although it occurs only rarely, truck accident claims with extensive issues could take more than 2 years to settle. Our lawyers usually recommend that claimants are prepared to wait a minimum of 2 years while acknowledging that claims often take significantly less or significantly more than that to reach a settlement.

The Legal Process and Reaching a Settlement

How long do you have to wait for Sentry Insurance to settle a semi-truck accident case? As mentioned above, there are many details that could affect the amount of time it takes for Sentry Insurance to pay on an 18 wheeler accident case. To better understand how the details of your truck accident claim could affect the time it takes to reach a settlement, you should have a thorough understanding of the legal process. The legal process consists of the following steps:

• Your truck accident attorney must build your case. Your lawyer must gather all the information that is relevant and supports your claim. Your lawyer is likely to need access to medical records, wage history, police reports, and a variety of other supporting details.
• Your truck accident lawyer must use all supporting documents that were gathered to prepare a demand package (demanding a settlement). Your lawyer must send the demand package to the insurance company for review.
• Sentry Insurance will receive and review the demand for settlement. Insurance companies then launch an investigation into the claim to confirm or debunk the claim. After the investigation is complete, a Sentry Insurance representative will contact your truck accident lawyer with an update.
• Your lawyer will negotiate with Sentry insurance until a settlement agreement has been reached. All parties must agree on a settlement amount before negotiations are concluded.
• Sentry Insurance (when a settlement has been agreed upon) will require that you sign a settlement release document. The insurance company will not release your settlement check until you sign the document.
• Your lawyer will receive the settlement check from the insurance company and make certain deductions for legal fees, liens, and other expenses. After this step is complete, you will receive your settlement check.

How long do truck accident cases with Sentry Insurance take to settle? If the process above is delayed in even one step, the length of time it takes to settle your claim could be extended. Every step above takes time, and complications could lengthen the time it takes to complete the steps and the entire legal process. How could you prevent complications and ensure a prompt settlement? Because some aspects of the legal process are out of your control and depend solely on your claim’s details, there is no way to prevent complications and ensure prompt settlements. However, ensuring that you hire a competent lawyer could ensure that any complications are handled professionally and efficiently.
